Great for teenagers

5.00Family with two teenage sons - this was an ideal activity. The check-in was easy (note the unit is on the outside of the shopping centre) and we were given waterproofs as the day was a little grey. As it turned out, this was a perfect activity for a greyer day - Jack was a great captain and we all loved it (I had started out nervous but it was great fun!). The even provided sunglasses for the spray and water to clear saltwater from your eyes after. Highly recommend.
10/10 Jetboat Experience

5.00If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a sock in a high-efficiency washing machine set to "Aggressive Spin," look no further. This jetboat experience was everything I hoped for and several things I’m still processing in therapy. Here is the breakdown of the "adventure": The Driver Toby: A lovely person who clearly has a personal vendetta against dry clothing. I’m convinced they can smell fear—and thirst for it. The 360° Spins: Excellent for clearing your sinuses, though I did lose a flip-flop to the abyss. Somewhere, a fish is wearing a Size 10 Havaiana. The G-Force: I now know what my face looks like when it's trying to migrate to the back of my skull. It's not a premium look. A Special Shoutout to Toby the boat skipper The real tragedy of the day, however, wasn't my dignity—it was my hair. I walked onto that boat looking like a functional member of society. I walked off looking like a startled cockatoo that had been struck by lightning.
Oldies can love it too!

5.00Had fun on the Jetboat Extreme ride, doing spins and just being tossed around, once we had moved out of the restricted areas. Managed to stay completely dry from the neck down, just a tad wet and salty above that....lol
Loved every minute
